Nordica’s best decision was partnering with you. I’ve been a snowboarder my whole life but the vibe you have and how much fun you make skiing look just made me buy a pair of enforcers. Keep killing it, keep dropping these banger videos and please drop the name of the hot sauce song 🤌

Adventure Rob! Welcome back buddy and with a nice cool one at the top. Now that's just pure class right there. Snow looked and sounded great. James always gets the best spot and photo shots.

All the tax breaks & red-neckery our little hearts had desired, and we can ski the BC hills, from home base, anyway. Still got a wicked view in the mountains, without being in BC.

[@fredianacci8283]

James, I’ve only been to Whistler/Blackcomb once in 2004 but it was one our of the most memorable and fun ski trips out west. I even had the chance to do some of the easier parts of Spanky’s a few times. I appreciate what you do. You’re funny, informative and even though I don’t have near your abilities, I basically ski Canada vicariously through your weekly adventures. Thanks.

[@riseandalpine]

Thanks for coming along! You gotta come back out here again dude!

[@JaredG_WV]

as an angler and a skier, this is the first I've ever heard of a catch and carve... holy shit. the possibilities...

[@riseandalpine]

Thanks Shawn! Always out here shaking things up and hoping to keep the content fresh and engaging.

[@Jay-tc9on]

Another unreal video! You have something special! Whistler is just such a magical place, then blue bird day with the sunset and alpenglow is just incredible. Watching your videos never gets old. Better luck on the catch net time, sometimes the fish just aren't biting.

[@riseandalpine]

Thanks dude! So true. If the fish we're biting all the time it wouldn't be half as exciting eh.

[@divineashler]

What a beautiful day you had. No fish, but lots of sunshine. Sending you love!!!💛

[@xColter]

I for one was genuinely disappointed. My morning was completely ruined when I found out no catch and cook will be happening this year. AND THEN, the BIB RICE came out!!! In that moment all humanity seemed OK again 💯 Sick pow days, the runs looked absolutely mint. I was recently up at Sun Peaks, the back side of Gils was also pretty sick. Although, snow needs to keep coming lol.

does finding sharks in the snow count as fishing??? Day 9 In winter's chill, with snowflakes deep, Ford brings a gift that doesn’t sleep. A truck for Rise and Apline’s quest, To conquer cold, to face the test. Through frosty winds and icy trails, Its engine roars, it never fails.

Any plans to go to Vail mountain this year. I ski there a lot this and it would be sick if you went there. But do what you want to do, the videos will be good either way.

Love those mountain Sunsets!! - Question, do you run lense guards on your x4 while skiing? i recently picked up one for riding my motorcycle, as well as snowboarding once we get more snow over in MB

[@riseandalpine]

I prefer no lens guard as I find it sort of distorts the footage a little bit

[@andyziggy]

Hi Mr. Alpine. Should I keep my first whistler trip for dec 12-13 if it snows or move it to jan 6-7. Thanks for all the epic content

[@riseandalpine]

Hard to say... Depends on the snow forecast honestly. Jan 6-7 might have a better snow pack

[@CephBacon]

@riseandalpine all good man, you had no way of knowing that would happen!

[@ZevIsert]

Catch and carve sounds a bit easier than the one I'm trying to figure out: Ski and Surf - I think I could do it on highway 4

[@riseandalpine]

You could rip it easy on the Island. Tour mount 5040 in the AM and bomb to Tofino for an evening surf. Springtime like May would be ideal.

what kind of boots did you get? Im in the market for boots

[@riseandalpine]

I've got Nordica Unlimited 130 for touring and Nordica Speed Machine 130 for the resort. Best bet is to always get a good boot fitter to decide what is best for you. Good fitting boots for your unique foot are the key to good ski days.

[@riseandalpine]

[@ZackaryValenta]

Please mount your 360 camera differently! With the lenses facing forward and backward. The third person shots in the video confirmed what I noticed right away when I recently started watching your videos: you mount your 360 camera with the lenses facing to either side. That creates a faint but very distracting vertical seam in the middle of the screen where the stitching happens. It can be very noticeable when trees come across it since they are very high contrast with the snow. I don't usually post about this kind of stuff, but your videos are great and I just wanted to point this out to improve the visual quality of them from people who enjoy them in high resolutions.

[@BeetsByHometownBrew]

A refined eye for the AI, aye.

[@riseandalpine]

Great tip! Thanks. Sometimes I purposefully angle the camera like that when I'm storm skiing to reduce the snow that catches the lens versus running it head on. I often forget to turn it back around. I've never noticed a stitch line. Maybe the low light? Are ya watching on a TV?
